GOOSEBUMPS: SECRETS OF THE SWAMP Comic Book Announced with Cover Art
We’ve got a cool new comic book to look forward to at the end of this summer based on R.L. Stine’s long-running Fever Swamp series called Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp. The series is being written by Marieke Nijkamp (This Is Where It Ends, The Oracle Code) with art by Yasmin Flores Montanez and colors by Rebecca Nalty.
There’s the synopsis from IDW (via Comicbook):
The series centers around Blake, a 12-year-old girl that's "shipped away to her weird aunt's home in Fever Swamp for the summer." Instead of video games and the usual summertime activities, Blake instead gets involved "in a spooky turf war between wolf hunters and werewolves.”
Nijkamp said of the project:
“I have fond memories of Goosebumps terrifying me as a kid, and I'm thrilled to get to play around in Fever Swamp now," Nijkamp says. "Secrets is a story all about finding your place in a new town, figuring out who your friends are, and dealing with the deadly monsters that lurk in the shadows. With Yasmin bringing the characters to life in such a wonderful way, I hope you'll get caught in its snare too. Of course, in Fever Swamp, all secrets have sharp teeth, so best be careful you don't get bitten."
Check out the Cover A and the Retailer Incentive cover for the first issue of the upcoming series below, and let us know if you’ll be picking up Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp in your comic book shops this September.
